Life is too short, that's why I gave up working 4 years ago. Lol
It reminds us.... don't put off everything until tomorrow. Always enjoy life and live in the now. We get too caught up in what we are doing and where we want to be.
Sorry for your loss of a friend.

Not a nice thing that happens .....and not that it helps a whole heap..... but your friend, mum , dad , brother , sister ...anyone you love have gone physically.... they will live on in your memories and make you think and talk about of the good and probably not so good times that you spent as mates .
This is exactly what I was getting at with this thread. Don't put too much off, do it now or you might never get the chance.Originally Posted by mauser
Another point worth considering here, because it think it would be fair to say that this site is predominantly a male domain, is the importance of annual health checks after a certain age. As most things that could knock us over are preventable if detected early. Come on fellas, think about it and don't leave it till it's too late. Cheers.

Its always sad to hear of the demise of a loved one or close friend.
It also might be a good idea to keep your eyes and ears open for those around us that might not be feeling the best in life, those who are feeling down and sometimes are just reaching out for help. We need to learn to recognize the signs.
As we age it seems more close friends are passing away or some with a debilitating illness. I also retied at young, at 58 was going to be on a trial bases or semi retied many years younger than the recognized retirement age of 65/67+ from seeing friends and family lose there life when just getting to the point of financial satisfaction and able to let their hair down, But again life didn’t make it easy 1 year in and my wife was on life support with a second bout of pneumonia. With little lung capacity left our plans to travel have been put on hold and now enjoying what we can do locally.
I know it’s not for everyone but I feel the time to retire is when you can financially support yourself and enjoy life. Powers to be and media always have trouble distinguishing between those that retire, that can be at any age and the pension age. It is also difficult to understand what we are being told about the life expediency has increased when I personally know many that did not make it to retire or only had a couple of year after.
Too true.
It's funny how you don't realise how much you don't know when your young and when your older you realise just how much you don't know and life is pretty darn short and you may as well get along with most people and those that can't be got along with, forget them.
Sorry to hear about your wife mate, that sounds bloody unfair, hang in there.
The only advice I have ever given my kids and its my mantra "keep punching, don't lay down, just keep punching"
Condolences Byron, Life is way too short.
Sorry also for your wife's illness Ski Pilot, I hope life improves for you both.
